You could always install Slackware on it and make the most of it 
Slackware's real good on slower machines as it doesn't have a lot of the useless cruft distributions like Red Hat or Mandrake do. The downside to this is that it's a tad harder to use but that isn't such a bad thing, you actually learn a thing or two about Linux, notably how to survive outside a GUI environment, something Red Hat and other distros seem content to gloss over, in the process.

At a command prompt type:
top [ENTER]
Check which processes are running, and try to make a determination of which ones you don't really need. You can then find where "services" is located on your distro, and shut some of them down. Be careful, and make sure you can do without it before shutting it down though. That may help some...
